THE
FALL
SEASON
HERE.
Now is the time for everybody to think about their Winter wearing
apparel. The Leader, the best store in Western Nebraska, was never so' well
prepared to supply your wants in wearing apparel from head to foot for men,
boys, women nnd children as at the present time. As for prices, quality con-
sidered, we ore prepared to discount any catalogue prices. If .you don't be
lieve this come in and see.
For many reasons you should buy at this store.
First, we only sell first-class merchandise.
Second, wohove an immense assortment fr.om which to select.
Third, anything bought in this store that is not right we are willing to
make it right.
Fourth, this is the oldest establishment in this line in Lincoln County.
Fifth, the proprietor of this e3tablishment was the first to lower prices
in North Platte 23 years ago.
Sixth, the proprietor is one of these who helps to build up this com
munity. Seventh, he has helped out financially many farmers in Lincoln County
and is still doing it.
Eighth, he is one of the heaviest tax-payers in Lincoln County.
Therefore, don't you think the above reasons are sufficent to have you
trade at The Leader instead of buying in Omaha and Chicago. Here you see
what you buy; if it isn't satisfactory, it will be made right, and you leave your
money at home where it stays in circulation.

Record Breaking Business.
Traffic over tho Union Pacific is
saiu to now ue tlio heaviest in tho
history of the road, nt least tho num
ber of cars handled through tho North
Platto yards Is roeorted greater than
over boforo.
Dining tho mnoth of August the to
tal number of freight cars handled
through tho local yards was G3.040.
For the same month in 1914 the num
ber was 53,458, nnd for August, 1913,
tho number was 40,372. Tho car move
ment last month was nenrly one-half
greater than for tho same month in
1913, nnd 10,000 greater than in
August, 1914. To the average layman
that would seem like a satisfactory
increase in tho business of nny indi
vidual or corporation.
